New YonK, Sept. .l6.-The Impression
very generally prevailing that the family
Of Nina Van Z,ndt, whose unique mar
riage with Anarchist spiea created such a
aensation some time ago, are wealthy peo-
pie, appears to be not well founded, as
will be seen by the following extracts from
O letter Of Mrs. Agnes q. Van Zandt,
Nlna's mother, to friend In this city
who had written to that lady regarding q
pro1s report, which represented the fatni.
ly as being estrsnged from the daughter
and contrasting the luxury Of tho former
with the misery Of the latter. She writes:
Nina is at home as usual with her
father and me at 33B Eset Huron street,
where abe has been every day and night
sinca we attended the Anarchist's trial. It
would be impossible for US to part with
our only and beloved child, except under
the care and protection Of a husband and
juat as bard Tor her to leave the home she
has always felt free to enjoy. Nina has
not been violently i'll since February, but
she is nervous. Her anxiety for Mr..
Spies Is constant and wearing. It can
not be otherwise. At times she is
unable to make any effort and the
strain will grow worse until the decision
is rendered. She visits Spies twics
week and looks after his anaira. The
Socialists are getting up fair to raise
money for the defense and we will have
to b1sy ourselves with It, as means are
very low. ! am not acquainted with the

RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT.

The Tyler Star states that the
engineers have examined the various
routes to connect the Harrison coal
fields with the Ohio river road
They travelled from Clarksburg
down the west fork of the Mononga-
hela to the mouth of Big Bingamon.
Following the latter they explored
the gaps between it and Fishing
Greek: the latter was then followed
to New Martinsville; they then came
over the divide and down Point
Pleasant to Middlebourne. From
the latter place, they went over the
route up Point Pleasant and Pursley
to Sistersville and examined the Cow
House run gap. Returning to Mid
dlebourne they went up the creek as
far as Shirley.
They have two routes in view, the
Fishing Creek and the Middle Island
routes: the chief difficulty with the
former will be at the eastern end and
with the latter at the western or river
end. The route up Bingamon is
very difficult and the divide between
that stream and Fishing creek is
more than three hundred feet high.
The head waters of Fishing creek
fall very rapidly for a few miles, and
the route for perhaps half the dis
lance would be difficult.
On the other hand, the route up
Ten Mile creek and over the divide
between it and McElroy would be an
easy one, and the route between Bin
Canon and McElroy, while more diff
ficult, would still be much easier than
the descent to Fishing creek. The
route down McElrOy and Middle
Island would be very easy one to
Middlebourne, and the route mp
Point Pleasant and Pursley would
also be easy until the river hill is
reached. The divide between Point
Pleasant and Fishing creek is also
over three hundred feet, making it
very difficult to get from Middle
bourne to New MaItinsville.
To get over the river hill at any
of the points examined would re-
quire a tunnel. The engineers say
that there are two or three places
where they could get down the hill,
but on the whole they seemed to
think the Cow House run route the
most practicable. The pike at the
top of the river hill is three hundred
and forty feet higher than Sisters
Vile, but by means of tunnel the
road could be built there.

Mr.. T. II. Mason, of this place,
met with painful accident last Sat
urday, by which he lost the index
finger of his left hand. He was
hunting and carried the gun cooked.
Having fired one barrel, he proceed
ed to load it, and noticed that the
hammer had rebounded. Thought
lessly having his finger over the
muzzle, he reached down with his
right hand to let down the hammer
of the unloaded barrel, but unfortu-

completely blowing his finger off at
the second joint. The lacerated
stump was amputated by Drs. c. T.

The Hiedwohl stable and several

day. A horse and several hogs
were burned. Loss some $500; no

debted to them for preventing very
disastrous conhagration. There was
considerable wind blowing directly
over the town, and at one time six
or eight houses, some of them 800
yards distant, were on fire. Charles

Dear Sirs: About three months ago,
noticing letter addressed to you in
the Bee from Gen. Slevin, in refer
ence to the cure of his son by the
use of Halls Catarrh Cure, we were
induced to commence the use OF 1T
for our daughter Nellie now fourteen
years old, who has been suffering
form catarrh for about eight years,
during which time she has been trea-
ted by one of the best physicians in
the city. We have also tried the use
of almost all the known remedies
for catarrh, with no more success
than temporary relief. Many nights
have we laid awake to hold her
mouth open to keep her from strang-
ling. Her hearing had also become
affected. We were afraid that she
would never recover. We have now
used six bottles of Halls Catarrh
Cure and we believe Nellie to be en-
tirely cured. In few days after
commencing the use of it we noticed
decided change for the better, and
from that right along she has i'm
proved, until now she breathes as
easily as any one. She sleeps we'll
and her hearing is perfectly good.
We feel that the disease is entirely
removed. We write this unsolicited
letter, feeling that it is due you, and
with the hope that others may be
benefited in like manner. We can
hardly realize that such a change
could be effected in so short time
after battling with the disease so
long. We are still using the RENE
DIV at intervals, as it seems to build
UP her system. You are at liberty
to use this in any manner you see
proper. We are yours, truly,
